Today, Esco has emerged as a market leader in containment, clean air, pharmaceutical, and laboratory equipment technologies with active sales in more than 100 countries and direct company offices in the top ten geospecific markets. From our headquarters in Singapore, Esco directs a highly efficient research, product development, manufacturing and customer service program. We are the only company in our market that is completely configured to export most of what we manufacture. Our many languages and cultures, customs and traditions, and modern business management techniques blend into a single effort focusing on customer service, one customer at a time. As you learn more about Esco, you will understand why World Class. Worldwide. is more than a phrase. It’s part of who we are, where we are from and where we are going. World-Class Test Facility Esco is proud to be one of the few manufaturers in the world with a test facility capable of testing hoods to both ASHRAE 110-1995 (US) and the EN14175-3 (European) standards. Esco’s Fume Hood Test Laboratory was designed with the assistance of Tintschl Engineering AG, a specialist consulting firm from Germany. It has controlled relative humidity, room temperature and pressure for optimum test conditions. Esco is also one of the few companies to routinely sample and subject production fume hoods to a battery of containment and safety tests. All custom fume hoods with modified dimensions are also tested in our laboratory to ensure containment before delivery. A Complete Range Frontier Acela ® is the world's first high performance / low flow fume hood product range with an ergonomically angled front. Frontier Acela is available in Benchtop, Perchloric Acid, Radioisotope, Acid Digestion and Floor Mounted configurations, in a wide range of widths, with a full range of options and accessories.

American Standard ASHRAE 110-1995 The ASHRAE 110-1995 standard is a comprehensive method for evaluating the operator safety of fume hoods by determining quantitatively and repeatably how well the fume hood contains vapors released in the workzone. First published in 1985 and extensively revised in 1995, this standard employs a set of rigorous tests to evaluate hood performance: 1. Airflow Visualization • Local and gross airflow visualization tests conducted to observe airflow patterns inside work chamber 2. Face Velocity Measurements • Face velocity and uniformity tested at 100% and design sash opening position Typical measurement grid for 1.5m/5’ hood at 457mm/18” sash opening 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 275 275 275 275 100 100 110 237 457 110 Grading Fail Poor Fair Good Observations Smoke observed escaping from the hood Reverse flow of smoke near opening Lazy flow into opening along boundary Observed potential for escape Some reverse flow, not necessarily at opening No visible escape No reverse flows Active flow streams into hood around boundary 3. Tracer Gas Containment • Tracer gas containment test: SF6 released at 4L/min inside work chamber • Consists of 3 parts - Static gas leak conducted at 3 positions (left, right, centre) - Face hood surface scan - Sash movement effect • Test criteria: leakage of less than 0.05ppm as-manufactured 3 European Standard EN 14175 EN 14175 is a harmonized European standard which supercedes the former national standards of Germany, the UK and France. A key element of the EN 14175, which is not present in the American ASHRAE 110 standard, is the robustness test, which simulates airflow disturbance in front of the hood. 1. Inner Grid Test • A set of 9 sampling tubes are arranged in a 3 x 3 grid, at a distance of 30 mm from the measurement 130mm 400mm 400mm 2. Outer Grid Test • Outer grid testing measures the leakage of tracer gas across the entire sash opening • Sash is closed then opened during the test to investigate dynamic effect of sash movement 3. Robustness Test • For the robustness test, a 0.4 x 1.9 m plate crosses the front of the fume hood at 1 m/s for 6 times • Provides an indication of the sensitivity of the fume hood towards external disturbances 130mm plane • Leakage will be measured at 6 different grid positions Outer grid 50 mm 400 mm
